I guess you could try removing the striker plate to see if it can be adjusted. It is a triple square drive, not a torx, just as a heads up. I replaced my latch mechanism and learned that the hard way. Maybe try flipping over the striker plate? I can't tell from your picture if it is symmetrical or not. How long has this been a problem?

Take a look at the door and see if you have a consistent gap around the door when it is closed. If it looks good, the issue is probably with the striker plate. If it is uneven, it looks like there is an adjustment at the hinge side:
